=== Northwest towards [[Edirne]] and [[Bulgaria]] ===

You can take bus 83O for 1,50 TL from Taksim Square to the big bust station ''Bayrampaşa Otogar'' on the European side, which is just along the highway to Edirne / Bulgaria. Take the bus to the last stop, get off and walk back to the entrance. From there, you'll be hitching directly along the highway. A sign works well here, and there is plenty of space for drivers to pull over since a lot of busses and minibusses stop for passengers just outside). While exiting, you'll notice a petrol station to your right that is a possible alternative starting point where you can ask drivers for lifts (or just use the toilet).

Get into the metro at Taksim Square and take a train towards ''Atatürk Oto Sanayi''. This is currently the last station for the trains departing from Taksim. One ticket costs 1,50 TL (~0,75 Euro). At the ''Sanayi Mahallesi'' station (not to be confused with Atatürk Oto Sanayi which is the last station en route), get out of the Metro. You will find yourself along the ''Büyükdere Caddesi'' avenue. Walk along the main street direction north (watch out for big signs that are leading drivers to the highway to Edirne. After 3-4 min and passing a military camp you'll see the [[on-ramp]]. Unfortunately, there is no way to cross the street from right to left then by attempting suicide, because the main street is mostly full of fast traffic. If you are not brave enough to do so, walk another 10 min further and cross the street over a bridge and walk back the way along the other side.

After getting a lift at the on-ramp, you'll notice that a few kilometers further on the highway, there is a [[toll booth]] where you can easily catch rides (the breadsellers might help you get a lift to your preferred destination).

Buses 98H (from Bakırköy, a suburb in the west) and 146T (from Yenikapı and Aksaray, near Sultanahmet) among others pass the [[toll booth]]. These buses pass adjacent the westbound lanes of E80. On on the other side of the highway is 'TEM Hospital' Crossing the highway here is not challenging.
